    Awesome video, best one I could find that sums the story up quickly. Though I would absolutely love a full docu-series that covers everything from the invention of basketball and literally everything up until the present day. I really want to know how the game and the NBA as a company has developed since their respective inceptions.

    The movement history of some of the franchises like the Kings or Hawks is crazy. I went to a minor league hockey game in Rochester once and they have an NBA title banner on the ceiling of the old arena there. Syracuse too.

    • @bricefleckenstein9666
      @bricefleckenstein9666 Před 8 měsíci

      I don't think the Pistons won a championship before they left Fort Wayne - and I'm pretty sure the arena they played in has been torn down since.
      The arena the Pacers won 3 ABA championships in (Market Square) got torn down some years ago - but I think they transferred the banners in the move to Conseco.

    Really enjoyed the video! Also, want to add something. Argentina was a FIBA founder, but not the only South American country where the sport early came. In Brazil, basketball was introduced by YMCA itself in 1896. Rio de Janeiro was the home of the first YMCA in Latin America, founded in 1894. Something similar happened in other South American countries. The first five editions of FIBA World Cup were played in South America. Also, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay played in 1936 Olympic games. Salute from Brazil!

I would rather live in Eastern Kansas where there are more people, like Wichita, Topeka, Hutchinson, Salina, Lawrence, or Olathe. I was born in Kansas City (on the Missouri side), but I lived in Arizona for almost 9 years from late 2006 to early 2015, when I was very young. After tensions between my father and mother over a mobile game, they separated and my mom took me back to her roots in the Midwest.
